INTERESTING STATS: A NEED TO READ

There are actually two messages here. The 1st is very interesting, but the 2nd is absolutely astounding – and explains a lot.A
recent “Investor’s Business Daily” article provided very interesting
statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health
Organization
Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:U.S. 65%England 46%Canada 42%Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:U.S. 93%England 15%
Canada 43%Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:U.S. 90%England 15%
Canada 43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:U.S. 77%England 40%
Canada 43%Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:U.S. 71England 14
Canada 18Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in “excellent health”:U.S. 12%England 2%
Canada Check this last set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past president’s cabinet who had worked in the

private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is…

This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

That’s right! Only eight percent—the least, by far, of the last
19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big
corporations how to run their business? They know what’s best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me?How can the president of a major nation and society,
the one with the most successful economic system in world history,
stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one? Or about
jobs when he has never really had one? And when it’s the same for 92%
of his senior staff and closest advisers? They’ve spent most of their
time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as “community
organizers.” They should have been in an employment line. So..do you now
think we need a change? I’ll bet I know what your answer will be..
